Verse
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
KJV
King James Version
And
I decided
this to
myself, not again to come
in
sorrow
unto
you ,
But
I determined
this with
myself, that
I
would
not come
again to you in
heaviness.
for if I make you sorry, then
who is he who
is
making
me glad, except
he
who
is made sorry by me?
For if I make you sorry, who is he then
that
maketh
me glad, but
the
same
which
is made sorry by me?
and I wrote to
you
this same thing
, that
having
come
, I may
not
have sorrow from them of whom it
behoved
me
to have
joy,
having confidence in you all, that my joy is of you all ,
And I wrote this same unto
you
, lest
, when
I came,
I
should
have sorrow from them of whom I
ought
to rejoice;
having confidence in you all, that my joy is the
joy
of you all .
for out of much tribulation
and pressure
of heart I wrote to
you through
many tears ,
not that ye might
be made
sorry
, but that ye might know the love that
I have more abundantly toward
you.
For out of much affliction
and anguish
of heart I wrote unto
you with
many tears ;
not that ye should
be grieved
, but that ye might know the love which
I have more abundantly unto
you.
And
if any one
hath
caused sorrow
, he hath not caused
sorrow
to
me, but in part ,
that I may not burden
you all ;
But
if any have
caused grief
, he hath not grieved
me, but in part :
that I may not overcharge
you all .
sufficient to such a one
is this punishment, that
`is'
by
the
more
part,
Sufficient to such a man
is this punishment, which
was
inflicted
of
many.
so that ,
on
the
contrary,
`it
is'
rather for
you
to forgive and to
comfort, lest by
over
abundant
sorrow
such a one may
be swallowed up ;
So that contrariwise
ye
ought
rather to forgive him,
and comfort him
, lest perhaps
such a one should
be swallowed up with
overmuch
sorrow.
wherefore ,
I call
upon
you to
confirm love to
him ,
Wherefore I beseech
you that
ye
would
confirm your
love toward
him .
for ,
for
this also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether in regard
to
all things ye
are
obedient
.
For to
this end
also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye
be
obedient
in all things.
And
to whom ye forgive anything
--
I also ;
for I
also,
if I have
forgiven
anything
, to whom I have
forgiven
`
it '
, because
of
you
--
in the person of Christ --
`I
forgive
it,'
To whom ye forgive any
thing,
I forgive
also :
for if I forgave
any
thing
, to whom I forgave
it, for
your
sakes
forgave
I
it
in the person of Christ ;
that
we
may
not
be
over-reached
by
the
Adversary,
for
of his
devices
we are not ignorant.
Lest
Satan
should
get
an
advantage
of us:
for
we are not ignorant of
his
devices
.
And
having
come
to Troas for
the
good
news
of
the
Christ
, and a door to
me
having
been
opened in
the Lord,
Furthermore,
when
I
came
to Troas to
preach
Christ's
gospel
, and a door was
opened unto
me
of
the Lord,
I have
not
had rest to
my spirit, on
my
not finding
Titus my brother ,
but having
taken
leave of them, I went forth
to
Macedonia ;
I had no
rest in
my spirit, because
I
found
not Titus my brother :
but taking
my
leave of them, I went from
thence
into
Macedonia .
and
to
God
`are'
thanks, who
at
all
times
is
leading
us in
triumph in the
Christ, and the fragrance
of His knowledge He
is
manifesting
through
us in every place ,
Now
thanks be
unto
God
, which
always
causeth
us to
triumph in Christ, and maketh
manifest
the savour
of his knowledge by
us in every place .
because
of
Christ
a
sweet
fragrance
we are to
God, in those
being
saved, and in those
being
lost;
For
we are unto
God a
sweet
savour
of
Christ
, in them
that
are
saved, and in them
that
perish:
to the one ,
indeed,
a
fragrance
of death to
death ,
and to the other ,
a
fragrance
of life to
life ;
and for
these
things
who is sufficient?
To the one we
are
the
savour
of death unto
death ;
and to the other the
savour
of life unto
life .
And who is sufficient for
these
things
?
for we are not as the
many, adulterating
the word of God ,
but as of sincerity --
but as of God ;
in the presence
of God ,
in Christ we
do
speak
.
For we are not as many, which
corrupt
the word of God :
but as of sincerity ,
but as of God ,
in the sight
of God speak
we
in Christ.
